HISTORY WILL BE MADE ON JANUARY 30, 2003, 10:00AM AT BOARDWALK AND MOORLYN
TERRACE IN OCEAN CITY, NJ 08226. DON'T MISS IT!!
The wall-size advertisement for
the Shore Fast Line, which was recently exposed during demolition of the Moorlyn
Theatre, will be dismantled by contractors and donated by current owners to the
Ocean City Historical Museum, Inc. The school district of Ocean City has
offered to temporarily store the wall-size sign in their armory until a decision
can be made regarding the sign's future.
This will be a major task for the Stone Works Masonry Company as the sign is
actually a series of 3' x 12' segments of Tin that have been painted with
the Mural.
